It takes quite a long time of playing and watching a video game before you realize how bad at it you really are.

Yeah, seriously, it`s not the morphling. The chinese are just playing better and would win with any other decent carry. Most games they would win with a Sniper anyway.

PLEASE zenith ban the morphling... this is ridiculous...

Can't afford a Morph ban because then you have to choose between letting through Naga, xiao8's DS, or Yao's Invoker. Then Sylar plays Antimage and you lose anyway.

zenith can play invoker too, iceiceice is a beast with him ...

It wasn't about Morphling. Yao, DD and DDC lived through fights and got shit done. xy-, hyhy, Loda and xFreedom couldn't. Morph got fat, but so did Luna. The difference was the farm on the other four LGD heroes far outstripping that on the remaining guys from Zenith.

luna fits into prepared strategies pretty well. but she's pretty difficult as a character to play well. and you need to work with your team incredibly well.

I didn't know you could move command in dota, wp ice.

you can move command to tank rosh with illusions, have a creep like a command aura wolf or speed aura kobold to follow you without attacking stuff...

I know, been doing that since the dawn of times, I meant the move command mistake as in clicking on the minimap/map and going on to do something else, like we see from time to time in sc2, don't think I've ever seen anyone decent do it in dota tho.
So... what that make you? Good? You're not good. You just know how to hide, how to lie

The carries on both teams are getting the farm, but the chinese supports are completely outperforming everyone else. And they usually win the mid lane.

Yeah they're great. I love Tobi aswell, noone can convey excitement like him. I've heard a few times his game knowledge isn't the best, but to someone like me who doesn't know shit about dota it doesn't really matter and he's often casting with Synderen or some other pro most of the time, so yeah, he's awesome. I wish we had someone like that in sc2, but I'm not sure if you actually can get that excited about sc2. Maybe the game just isn't designed for it.

LD has been getting better at play by play this TI2, though I think he's going overboard with the yelling.
